Anne Curtis, Carlo Aquino, and Joshua Garcia Lead PH Remake of 'It's Okay  to Not Be Okay' – Gen-Z Magazine Philippines

In the world of Philippine showbiz, surprises are everywhere—but what recently happened between Joshua Garcia and Anne Curtis left fans genuinely stunned.

The two celebrities were expected to collaborate in a high-profile project that had fans buzzing. Speculations ranged from a romantic film, a daring commercial, or even a surprise hosting gig. The excitement was real, especially since Anne Curtis—an established actress, TV host, and fashion icon—rarely returns to large-scale productions since becoming a mother. Joshua Garcia, on the other hand, is riding high with his dramatic prowess and rising fame.

So when news broke that Joshua reportedly refused to do a scene or commitment involving Anne, the internet went ablaze. Was there tension? A fallout? A personal issue?

According to insiders close to the production team, the “scene” in question involved an intimate moment—possibly a kiss or a suggestive photoshoot. While Anne Curtis is known for handling scenes like these professionally, Joshua reportedly felt it would be “inappropriate,” especially considering Anne’s current status as a mother and wife to Erwan Heussaff.

“Joshua respects Anne deeply,” a source told an entertainment site. “He idolized her growing up and just didn’t feel right crossing that professional line, especially when there are boundaries to be respected.”

This decision has sparked debates online. Some fans applauded Joshua for his strong values and respect for women, especially mothers. Others felt he was overreacting and questioned if he was being too sensitive or “maarte.”

Meanwhile, Anne Curtis has reportedly taken no offense. In fact, she was allegedly touched by Joshua’s gentlemanly approach. “Anne was grateful for his honesty,” one source said. “She knows showbiz is full of people who say yes to everything without thinking.”

Critics are also chiming in, asking: Should an actor always be ready to play any role regardless of who the co-star is? Or is it acceptable to say “no” based on personal values?

Joshua’s decision may have cost him a significant opportunity, but it also opened up a broader conversation about professionalism, personal limits, and the evolving culture of respect in the entertainment industry.

In the end, Joshua Garcia didn’t do “that scene” with Anne Curtis—not out of pride or fear—but out of respect. And maybe, just maybe, that tells us more about the man he truly is than any role ever could.
